This lovely Staffordshire-style flatback features two seated Spaniels with a barrel between them, offering a fresh twist on the classic dog pair. Carefully hand-painted and full of character, it brings a soft touch of vintage charm to any interior.
If you’ve always liked the idea of owning a pair of Staffordshire dogs but weren’t sure about the size, this could be just the thing. You still get the look of two loyal companions in a single flat-backed figure that doesn’t take up too much space. It fits neatly on a shelf, even in front of books, making it easy to style wherever you like.
What makes this piece especially lovely is how full of personality it is. Each hand-painted detail, from the warm reddish markings to the fine little chain, remains clear and well-preserved. But it’s the Spaniels’ faces that really steal the show — their perfectly painted noses and gentle expressions are irresistibly sweet. The surface also shows fine, even crazing that adds just the right amount of vintage texture.
